Case Trick
A dark, industrial-edged alt-rock album that nods to post-punk while building its own gothic, immersive world.
The latest release from Case Trick brings out a dark-edged and alternative soundscape that walks the line between industrial, all pop, rock, and even hints of post punk that all come together to create an atmosphere that feels nostalgic but also refreshing at the same time.
The Omega album is packed with dripping guitars, swelling synths and a touch of gothic undertone that has a way of engulfing you and keeping you right where it wants to.
This album in a way, feels like a love letter to the bands and artists that inspired and influenced it as you can hear hints of all kinds throughout the course of the playthrough.
There are certain songs I feel like they have an almost live performance approach, like the players are feeding off of each other's energies the entire time and others that are completely different.
Whichever one you are listening to, you do get a full understanding of the love for the craft that this band has because these songs are done with a very particular sort of heart, and you can tell this was indeed a passion project.
Now, when people hear stuff like this if they don't understand the genres, then they might not understand where the heart and soul of the music is coming from but people who love this kind of music completely get it and will fall for this record from the first track through the last.
The aesthetic and authenticity are strongly nailed so this is really something that feels like it was a long time coming in a way.
The record is a form of escapism, and it lets you step into a different world for a certain time period.
